255 – Side Story – To the World He Was in (6)

The day when the two had to leave this world came quickly.

At midnight tonight, the door back to the original world will open, and the two will have to say goodbye to this world.

Nevertheless, there was no sadness or regret in the eyes of the two people.

Of course, it would be a lie to say that it wasn’t disappointing at all, but since it was something that was planned from the beginning, it would be correct to view it as indifference.

The two went out a little early today and were busy wandering around outside in the morning.

I didn’t go looking for things to see or eat for last memories, but to pick up a few gifts before heading to the other world.

“Isn’t this good enough?”

“Yeah, I don’t think it’s bad.”

When Edgar asked for her opinion while holding a mug that changed its appearance depending on the temperature, Ariel agreed.

The reason why I can’t buy whatever I want even though I have enough money is because Ariel has one condition before buying a gift.

It is important to only obtain items that do not have a large impact when taken to the other world, and that are acceptable within a certain level of common sense.

Apparently, among the objects in this world, there were quite a few that could become subjects of research if taken incorrectly.

No, it would not be an exaggeration to say that most of them are like that, rather than saying that there are quite a few.

Therefore, Ariel looked for a gift under these conditions, an item that could be commemorative and bring a certain level of freshness.

It wasn’t an easy task, but thinking about it like this was so much fun that I didn’t notice the time passing.

“I couldn’t choose everything even if I spent all day choosing.”

“I know yeah. But I think I picked up a few good ones, right?”

Edgar shrugged, pointing at her thick paper bag, and she smiled in agreement.

It was definitely a lot of hard work, but thanks to that, I was able to get some things I liked.

In particular, there was an item that brought a smile to her face just by imagining it, and her feet moved with the desire to take it to the other world.

The two people, who had been busy moving around the store all day, headed to the ice cream shop inside the store to take a break.

“I chose the simplest one, but I’m not sure if it will suit my taste.”

Edgar, who returned to her seat with her share of ice cream, stretched out her hand and offered her cup to her.

What’s inside is ice cream with strawberry pulp.

Ariel ate it with a spoon and smiled with satisfaction.

“It’s just right? Delicious.”

The unique strawberry scent was quite noticeable, and most of all, I really liked the chewy texture of the flesh inside.

It was a bit disappointing that the ice cream in that world only had one flavor and different toppings, but I guess it solves all that dissatisfaction.

“What does that taste like?”

“This? Chocolate. Do you want to try it?”

“Yes.”

Edgar held out his cup as if to take it quickly.

Then Ariel did not extend her hand, but instead pushed her face forward and opened her mouth small.

A signal to feed.

Edgar couldn’t help but laugh at something he would never have done if it were the old Ariel.

‘I feel like I’m becoming more and more like a kid.’

Ariel sometimes gets angry or behaves like a child, but she doesn’t like this type of behavior because she finds it creepy.

But after they became married, her cuteness increased, and now she even asks me to feed her even though her own hands and her and her are fine.

Although Edgar was dumbfounded, he really liked this change.

It could be said that she feels in her own skin that he has become someone she can properly rely on psychologically.

“Should we give it to them by comforting them like we do with our children?”

“Stop talking nonsense and act like a colonel.”

“Yeah. Let’s take care of it.”

Today too, Edgar was playful, but in front of her, he lightly curled his tail her her her her.

The pink spoon that Edgar held out went into her mouth, and as soon as she moved her chin, she chewed something crunchy.

Judging from the taste, it seemed to be a chocolate-flavored snack, and it went well with the ice cream.

Ariel had a faint smile on her face at the efforts of the people of this world to find and research the right combination, even though it was only ice cream.

“In my heart, I want to take the food that was delicious in this world back to the other world.”

“For example?”

“This is delicious too, the chicken you bought me? It was very delicious too… Just everything?”

Edgar giggled at Ariel’s firm comment, ‘Oh, except for the tteokbokki.’

It seems like the memories of that day remain in my mind quite strongly.

“After we finish eating, shall we go back to work?”

“Ugh, honestly, I don’t want to move…”

Ariel completely empties the ice cream and lies face down on the table, her voice trailing off.

She was probably tired after waking up in the morning and walking around for almost half a day after going out.

At a sight reminiscent of melted slime, Edgar smiled bitterly and approached her and held her hand.

Even so, Edgar knew better than anyone how excited she was to choose gifts for those around her.

Even so, if you take her by the hand and take her to the store, her eyes will immediately sparkle and she will be eager to choose an item.

*

The gift search was able to be completed ahead of schedule.

By chance, there were a lot of things that looked pretty good everywhere the two of them wandered around, so as they swiped them around, their hands were already full.

Of course, we didn’t just buy gifts to give to those around us, we also packed a few useful items for the two of us.

Ariel, who broke up with Edgar along the way, bought something on her her own her her her, but did not show it to him, saying it was for fun later, so he had to put his curiosity her her aside for a while.

The car with the two people in it, with all sorts of things loaded in the trunk and back seat, was heading somewhere.

Ariel felt drowsy, perhaps because she had finished an early dinner a little while ago, but she tried to wake herself up, thinking that Edgar sitting next to her might be bored.

“It’ll be soon.” “Get some sleep.”

“Ugh… Are you okay. Rather, where are we going?”

“We? “Where you wanted to go.”

“Ah…”

In response, Ariel let out a low sigh and opened her eyes.

In the first place, there is no place in this world that she would know.

At most, it would be a place that could exist in the other world, like a mountain or the sea.

Still, where did Ariel want to go?

It was a request that stemmed from a question she asked Edgar upon arriving in this world.

The car that ran like that soon arrived at a place.

Outside, neatly arranged grass and flowers were laid out in a simple, not too flashy manner, and the floor was made of neat marble.

Edgar took the two flowers he had placed on one side of the seat and got out of the car.

Ariel followed him with a solemn heart.

Next to the place where the car was parked, there was a sign saying ‘Bongho Columbarium’.

“I didn’t ask you to come for nothing, right?”

“No. I thought about stopping by, but I was afraid it would only make the atmosphere heavier, so I decided to leave without seeing you.”

Edgar answered Ariel’s worried question with a gentle smile and walked inside her crypt.

As she headed to the designated location, she was able to see two urns placed in one compartment that was relatively wider than the other compartments.

“I feel strange. “I am seeing you again after more than 20 years, so not much time has passed for you.”

“I guess I stopped by before going to the other world.”

From noble mtl dot nete

“It did. “I don’t remember exactly, but I probably stopped by three months ago.”

Edgar smiled and placed the two flowers he had brought, one each in front of the urn.

“You must feel really strange. Because my son-in-law came because her hair suddenly turned red.”

“Phew, that’s right.”

Ariel took a step behind her and bowed politely toward her urn.

In response, Edgar said there was no need to be too polite, but Ariel felt like she wanted to at least say hello.

Even though I haven’t even heard your name, I may have to part ways again today.

She wanted to express her sincere gratitude to the others who cared for this man.

“Is there anything you want to say to your parents?”

“Not really. “I think it’s hard to say anything right now.”

In the first place, Edgar didn’t want to come here today.

I felt like it would only cause a variety of emotions and would only convey a feeling of heaviness to Ariel.

And more than anything, I couldn’t muster up the courage to leave a promise to the two of them that I would come back, or even say goodbye to them saying that this would be the last time.

Therefore, she tried to pretend not to notice and moved on, but suddenly the words that Ariel had given her came to mind and she stopped by.

“Why did you want to meet my parents?”

“Just. There was no particular reason. If I had to ask, I wanted to at least say hello, but I think it would be rude to think that I will never see you again.”

The first meeting is the last meeting.

This behavior is tantamount to disqualification as a daughter-in-law.

Nevertheless, Ariel somehow wanted to meet the two people.

Even though all I knew about her face was the photo that Edgar had shown me a little while ago, she nevertheless met her and said, ‘I am the woman who married your son.’ She just wanted to convey that fact.

“I wanted to see you cry if possible, but that would be difficult.”

“Is it okay? “How long has it been since I already sent it to you?”

If you include the time he lived as Edgar Vilhark, it is well over 20 years, almost 30 years.

At one time, she shed tears, but now even those have dried up and only mixed emotions remain in her heart.

Still, she was very grateful to Ariel for letting her come back here.

Thanks to this, she was able to completely clear her mind and take her first steps before returning.

Perhaps there was a small lump of baggage left in her heart that she didn’t even know about.

“Do you two like me when you see me?”

“Then. “I’m sure my father especially likes it and sings it.”

She had been saying for a long time that she should bring a pretty daughter-in-law, so Edgar could guarantee that she would definitely do so.

Perhaps, seeing this scene, she is pouring out her anger at not being able to hold her daughter-in-law’s hand.

Smiling cautiously, Ariel bowed towards her urn again.

Then he carefully brought out the reason why he wanted to come here today.

“Don’t worry, we’ll come again next time. “At that time, if possible, I will come and show the children.”

It is nothing but a promise to visit again.

Even though Edgar knew that he would not be able to tell her this and did not want to visit, Ariel said it calmly without changing her expression.

“Isn’t that too much of a promise?”

“You just have to make it possible. “It’s not impossible, right?”

“… Ugh, I don’t know.”

Edgar shrugged his shoulders and slightly turned his head.

However, deep down, he felt grateful to Ariel for giving him this promise, even though it may have been somewhat vain, on behalf of him who had not had the courage of her.

So the closing time of the channel house soon arrived.

“Let’s go now. “This place closes early.”

“Huh. “Aren’t you saying hello?”

“It’s okay. Next time I come, I’ll say hello to you with the kids.”

“Hi, that’s true too.”

As nonchalantly as possible, pretending like nothing had happened, Edgar left the charnel house without even looking back.

If I had come alone, I think my steps would have been heavy, but perhaps because of the promise Ariel gave me on my behalf a little while ago, I was able to easily turn around.

There were only about 6 hours left.
